Exactly one year ago today, you were placed in our arms. What a precious gift we were given.
As you slept, we were so amazed that God had blessed us with a child from so far away, yet He knew exactly when and where we would meet. In His perfect timing, and perfect design, you entered our lives.
We held you close everywhere we went as we took in the sights and sounds of China, we wanted to imprint all of it in our hearts and minds. What is behind those sweet brown eyes, and that serious face? We couldn't wait to get to know you more, as you grew to know us, and trust us.
Who are you today, one year later? You are a child of God. You are filled with wonder and joy. You love to learn, and you are so loving. You are SO loved! You are two years old, and so smart, silly, and enjoyable. You make us laugh, you melt our hearts, and you even show concern and compassion when one of us is hurt. You are an amazing little girl.
You are our daughter! How did we get so lucky? God had it planned all along...and we are so grateful! We love you Lilyann!!! Thank you Lord, for this beautiful child!

Happy One Year Gotcha Lilyann. It is too bad we can't all return to China once a year for a reunion. It is great to see how our daughters have grown thru the blogs but it would be so much better to see it in person.
